"Okay so you're tell me that you got the costume and powers of what a comic book super hero?" Katsuragi asked as they were now inside the bath house, which turned out to be a mix of bath house, hotel and secret base
"Pretty much" Asuka nodded
"So what these robots are weak to your new super power?" Yumi asked
"It's possible that it wasn't weak to them as more like confused by them" Haruka thought as she was lounging in the bath itself "And instinct just took over right?"
"Yeah, it's like I knew how to use them as soon as I got the new suit" Asuka informed them
"Which came for that watch?" Yumi inquired, her voice filled with curiousity and caution
"Yeah, it suddenly appeared much like our Tenshin scrolls" Asuka explained
"So what is the next move?" Yumi asked
"Maybe we should find the remains of the machine so we can find out who is behind all of this" Katsuragi excitedly declared punching her hand
"Problem is we don't know how Asuka teleported from where she was to here, we also don't know how that watch works nor their technology, for all we know it was a glitch in their system" Haruka said standing up out of the bath, grabbing the towel she covered herself with
"I hate to say it, but she's right" Katsuragi sighed
"So what's the plan?" Asuka asked
"Why are you asking us when we have no clue" Yumi stated
"I was afraid you were going to say that" Asuka groaned
"Looks like someone beat one of these things" a girl with light brown hair muttered while trying to stop her glasses from falling off. "But the question is who, due to the way it was handled I would have to say it was someone with great strength, but there is also signs of electrocution, so who did this?" she asked standing up, her camouflage underwear the only thing giving her any modesty, this girl was Imu, Miyabis best friend and second in command of Hebijo's current elite squad, "Now I have to find my dear Miyabi" she said smirking while cheekily chuckling before she shook her head "No, Miyabi can handle herself and so can the twins, no my priority is Murasaki!" Imu said determined "I have to make sure she's safe first before finding the others." Imu decided before sighing knowing her relationship with Murasaki wasn't the best due to her jealousy of her little sister's ability. But she was family and no matter how much she wanted to Miyabi would be fine, expect for her Blood riot ability which was a forbidden technique. She sighed before something heavy landed behind her
"Target identified, codename Vixen!" a robot declared suddenly appearing, Imu whirled around to see the metallic navy blue robot humanoid machine standing there
"So you're one of them, okay so if you work here then you can take me to my sister" she said adjusting her glasses before leaping back as it swung at her again. "Once I've dealt with you I can find the others, Shinobi TENSHIN!" she shouted flicking her breasts up in order to get at her scroll only to have dark green shock her knocking her to the ground "What happened, my powers" Imu said standing up quickly before realising something 'I guess I have to try that' she though inhaling before focusing on something deep inside of her trying to find her inner power, only to snap her eyes open in fear "It...it's gone, the root of calamity! even though I had a small amount of it, its disappeared!' she panicked as the Robot walked up to her
"So, how do we get these Hero powers?" Katsuragi asked as she leant against the fridge in the base as she looked over at the other three who were just sitting around
"I don't know exactly, it just came to me" Asuka recalled as she paced in the kitchen area. The four had gathered there since their hunger had gotten the best of them
"Maybe, it was a spur of the moment thing, like it sense you were in trouble" Haruka theorised.
"Either way we have to find a way out of here, find our friends, and kick the ass of whoever did this to us!" Katsuragi growled out
"Easy Katsuragi, we're just trying to plan out what we should next" Yumi said trying to calm her friend down.
"And by doing so some of them could be dead" Katsuragi growled
"Easy Katsu, we're in the same boat here" Asuka replied touching her friend's shoulder
"Either way, we better get out of here soon" Katsuragi grunted
"I wonder what he's doing now" Asuka wondered rubbing her chin softly.
Kentaro was sitting on a bench out reading the one of the vast issues of Avenger he had in his private collection, but for some reason he really didn't feel in the mood for it. He was still worried about his sister since he could find out where she had gone, not that that was easy since she was a Shinobi; though the correct term for her was Kunoichi since she was a female ninja. Still, even if she was on a mission she would have contacted him and their parents, this meant something was very wrong and he needed to find out what it is, but unfortunately his grandfather was busy trying to calm down the headmasters of bother Gessen and Hobo since they seems to think Hanzo had something to do with the situation
"Yo! you okay there Kenny?" a friend of his asked nudging him, making the grandson of Hanzo.
"When did you get here Gin?" Kentaro asked blinking in surprise at his glasses wearing friend
"Oh while you were staring off into the great blue yonder, probably picturing you holding a beautiful Firestar cosplayer in your arms" Gin snickered. Like Kentaro, Gin was a samurai in training. But he was also a photography nut and a geek like Kentaro. "By the way, where's Asuka?" Gin asked looking to the side while sipping a can of coffee "I haven't seen her lately"
"She's on a mission" Kentaro said taking a bite of his lunch
"Shame, I was hoping I could have her model something green and lacy for me" Gin said smugly
"Dude, I never want to picture my sister in anything like that" Kentaro frowned at his friend
"Oh right, you're more of a blonde" Gin smirked.
"I'm more of a 'any girl but my sister' kind of guy" Kentaro shot back violently, ripping into his lunch.
"Yeah, yeah" Gin waved his hand in a bored kind of way
"Anyway I'm getting nervous, she hasn't called since she left" Kentaro revealed
"That is something that should be cause for concern, so what should we do?" Gin asked shifting gears and becoming serious
"Simple, we head to where they last were" Kentaro said finishing his last bite.
"So we should try and find out where the others are, but how?" Yumi asked
"You think there would be some way of tracking them" Katsuragi said dismissively
"Actually" Haruka laughed
"Oh I hate when she does that laugh" Katsuragi remarked
"What did you find out?" Yumi asked
"Well after looking at things, I can safely say we may have a way to piggy back on the teleportation signal that moved Asuka here" Haruka informed them
"That would be awesome!" Katsuragi explained when a buzzing was heard
"Huh?" they all asked confused
"Enemy detected attack Senran, designation: Vixen" Asuka's watch informed them
"Vixen, who could that be?" Katsuragi inquired
"Mostly likely Imu, since her ninja animal is the Fox" Haruka answered
"Come on!" Asuka called out as the watch on her wrist created a circle of light on the floor
"Oh not without us" Katsuragi got out before the three rushed into the circle of light before it disappeared, teleporting the three of them to wherever Imu was.
Imu could only groaned after she was thrown around like a ragdoll, she tried to get to her feet, only for her legs to collapse under her, feeling like n early set jelly.
"Body integrity lowered, increasing frequency" the robot assaulting her declared as it came over to her and gripped her by the neck
"Get bent you tin can!" She taunted the robot as it lifted her to eye level
"TARGET DEMISE IMMANENT" the robot announced rearing its fist back before slamming its fist into her stomach again letting go of her neck, sending her a couple of meters away from her to the ground, landing with a loud thud. She was nearing the end of her ability to take damage; which wasn't good since it would mean she would start feeling the damage the cybernetic monster before her was inflicting on her
"Is that...Is that all you got" she pat out a bit of blood before wiping her mouth. It was at this point she knew that she wouldn't last much longer as her vision was barely in focus, her glasses were cracked in several places, not to mention she could taste blood in her mouth even after spitting it out. "You supersize tin soldier" she taunted as she stood proudly with her legs quivering like a tremor was being sent through them.
"TARGET DEMISE IN 3...2...1" the robot said before something was shot in its face.
"Target blinded" Asuka taunted landing in her hero pose. "Imu!" she panicked catching the Hebijo girl
"I'm alright" she coughed
"This isn't good we need to get her back to the safe area" Yumi fretted
"That's a good idea, ASUKA!" Haruka exclaimed "We need you to get her back to the safe zone" Haruka called out
"But what about you?" Asuka asked,
"Just do it!" Katsuragi barked
"Alright" Asuka nodded picking up Imu, giving one last glance before teleporting away. The three then looked at the robot who scanned them
"NEW TARGETS DETECTED, IDENTIFIED AS BLIZZARD" it declared as Yumi glared at it "ALCHEMIST" Haruka performed a small wave "and TEMPEST" it said as Katsuragi punched her fist into her hand. The three girls went to ran at it when a trio of bright lights shone from their wrist. They looked at their wrists, revealing wrist watches.
"There the same as Asuka's" Katsuragi smiled
"HERO HENSHIN!" they shouted.
A maroon light shone out of Yumi's watch creating a maroon arrow over her hear which formed into a black sports bra with matching panties, next if formed a black vest, pants and gloves when a maroon light spiralled around her giving the vest a maroon arrow like design, finally swirling around her back to form a quiver and bow. Next a silver light shone as a paw print formed on her chest before it formed a black bikini then shifted into a black catsuit, the silver light formed white fur trim and a mask. The final light was a white light forming a diamond over Haruka's heart then forming into a strapless midriff top and a pair of white pants with the light swirling around her forming a cape around her arms just below her shoulders. Once the light died down the three looked mystified at their new looks
"ALERT! ANAMOALY DETECTED!" the robot panicked as it took a step back. Looking at it Yumi pulled out an arrow and pulled the string on her bow back and aimed at the robot, Katsuragi acting quickly ran in with Haruka and fired a grappling hook from one of her gloves around the feet of the robot causing it to becoming unstable. Haruka smiled in a sultry manner switching into a diamond form and punching the chest of the robot sinking her hand into it a bit, she pulled her fist out and jumped back allowing Katsuragi to slash at it with her claws. Turning around and nodding to Yumi who pulled out three arrows and pulled back while aiming at each slash marks. Smirking she released the bowstring causing the arrows to land in the slashes. Turning around Yumi pressed a button on her bow making the arrows explode, damaging it from the inside. Katsuragi leapt into the air and flung out her grappling hook, looking over to Haruka and twitched towards the robot making her nod while she gracefully walked over and using her diamond form ripped the head off of the robot
"Game over...tin can" Haruka taunted throwing the head up and down before they were teleported back to the bath-house, disappeared in a bright flash of light.
"So, this is where they were last seen right?" Gin asked looking around as Kentaro was examining the ground before nodding
"Yeah it was" Kentaro confirmed standing up, his sword was on his back while Gin's hung on his belt, suddenly the two slowly stood back to back as a small zephyr passed by them "You feel that?" Kentaro asked scanning the area, before the sound of heavy footprints pierced the air
"What is that?" Gin asked as he drew his katana while Kentaro drew out his katana and looked around,
"I have no idea" he admitted before he turned to look at Gin over his shoulder, who nodded and the pair walked away from each other when a glyph lit up under Kentaro's feet, "What?" he gasped
"KEN!" Gin shouted before Kentaro disappeared "Ken?" he asked looking around hyperventilating a bit "First Asuka and now Ken" he murmured before pulling out his phone "Good evening Hanzo-sama, I know it's late but we have a serious problem"
G'day Guys Grizz here so I'm trying something a bit different with this chapter which in turn will improve my writing and that is expanding the way I have a character talk. On the advise of both my sister and jgresidenevil. But anyway in this chapter not only did I bring in Imu, I alos gave Yumi, Katsuragi and Haruka the abilities of Hawkeye, Black Cat and Emma Frost and that means they'll get their alternate next episode, though Haruka will have two alternate outfits. Her main hero costume was inspired by the one she wears in the Astonishing X-Men series, while she'll alos have a version based on Emma's Dark Phoenix saga look. But you'll find out what happened to Kentaro next chapter.
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
